Rabby checking to see if Knecht will be taking any more visits. If not, that obviously does not bode well for us landing him.

Oh great…..if he ends up at Oregon, yuck

I guess if I were the coach and I had a lineup that had just cut a 10 pt deficit to 1 over last 8 minutes (for example). I'm coming out with that same lineup rather than the one that dug the original hole. I guess that's stupid because others don't do that

IMO, it depends on who you are coaching against.  A good coach will use halftime to counter what worked against them in the first half.

IMO, while getting a shooter is very important for IU, it’s really domino #3 because there are a lot of shooters in the portal….definitely more so than stretch 4’s, posts, guys who can score at multiple levels.  58 of 247’s top 100 rated players in the portal are guards.  For comparison, only 12 were centers.

Western Kentucky guard Dayvion McKnight.  6’1”.  Averaged 16.5 points, 5 rebounds, 3.8 assists.  Will have two years left.

Iona guard Willie Clayton.  16.8 ppg.  Wouldn’t be surprised to see him follow Pitino.

 

 

McKnight to Xavier

Clayton to Florida

I wasn't suggesting that you were. It was more to the point of "just do what everyone else does". Guess I'd like to know then why more don't do that. I get continuity, minute roles, sub patterns Yada Yada but just like "if it ain't broke don't fix it" there's something to "if it is broke then fix it".

I wouldn't say it was ever common, but you would see it from time to time in days gone by.  If you have a guy playing particularly well or poor then it should at least be considered.  I think a lot of the frustration is that it should be in play from game to game.  You make a plan to attack each opponent and those lineups may not always be the same.  You do see that occasionally elsewhere but not much in Bloomington for a while.

Sounds like Ledlum is going to visit Tennessee and St. Johns

Unless it's to do the slimy thing, then you can trust him.

Jalen Cone, 5'11" guard. Athletic but small.

Averaged 17.6 points last year, 40% from three.  Played at Virginia Tech prior to playing at Northern Arizona.  Looks like Painter knows the shortcomings of his guards.

California.

I'm sure if there are going to be any new commitments today, it will happen the next 4 hours. I have to clerk a HS Track meet.

This is way more likely to be in response to Anthony seeing all the college girls in short shorts, crop tops, sundresses, etc during 70+ degree weather.

Ah, those were the days.

IMO, that sounds like a great plan in abstract but you start adding names to those lineups and it can quickly illustrate why that strategy is not always as good as it sounds. For example, if there was a game where both JHS and TJD started sluggishly and the opponent started really hot, are you really going to leave your only real PG and your AA post on the bench to start the 2nd half because the subs were able to cut into the early lead?

I think it goes back to watching RMK doing this over the years. He even did this in the national semi final against UNLV in 1987. Darryl Thomas had 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes of the game and Steve Eyl came in and played well. To start the half Eyl started instead of Thomas
